I had 4 of these on my 6' 180 gal. I was growing some SPS near the top at 100% intensity. If you just have soft coral and they are at the top I would start at 60% and ramp up to 80% over a few weeks. As far as schedules go I had mine ramp up/down for 3 hours on each end and then 5 to 6 hours of my daytime intensity. I hope that helps. ]]> Thu, 17 Oct 2019 09:37:35 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85628&PID=636461&title=kessil-a80-vs-a160#636461 <![CDATA[Kessil A80 vs A160 : Thanks for the info.

A160 is not overkill for that size of tank. Kessils are nice because they don't have to connect to an app to work. I have loved mine. ]]> Mon, 14 Oct 2019 08:16:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85628&PID=636410&title=kessil-a80-vs-a160#636410 <![CDATA[Kessil A80 vs A160 : I am just getting back into the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85628&PID=636402&title=kessil-a80-vs-a160#636402 Author: DrewSchmidt

I am just getting back into the hobby and have been saving for a 360x for my biocube 14. But I also plan on upgrading to a larger tank around hobby supplumentation time aka tax season. I figure buy once cry once. If you plan on upgrading to a bigger tank I would buy the light you want for the bigger tank and just turn down the intensity till then. I think an a160 would do great on that size tank.]]> Sun, 13 Oct 2019 09:04:01 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85628&PID=636402&title=kessil-a80-vs-a160#636402 <![CDATA[Kessil A80 vs A160 : I have an A80.

I have an A80. It's crap. I have it on an 8 gallon tank, and I can't wait to replace it.

I have a Bio Cube 32 Gallon LED. I'm looking to take off the hood and put on a Kessil LED light. Im trying to pick between the Kessil A80 and the Kessil A160. As for corals i'm mostly planing on Softies and LPS. maybe an SPS but I don't plan on it. Is the A160 over kill? Or is it worth the cost to upgrade? Thanks!
